Drop-in visits in Vancouver

How drop-in visits work in Vancouver

Vancouver drop-in visits keep indoor cats fed and watered in Yaletown, Coal Harbour and Olympic Village towers without anyone staying over: the sitter arrives for a short visit, refreshes food and water, scoops the litter and confirms your pet is settled. Kitsilano, Point Grey and Commercial Drive homes near green space get the same quick check, with the sitter keeping the cat indoors since urban coyotes pass through Vancouver yards. A drop-in visit here runs CAD 20 to 35, with 0% booking fee for you.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How long is a typical visit?
Most drop-ins in Vancouver are 30 minutes. Longer visits (45-60 minutes) are available with most sitters; rate scales accordingly.
Can I book multiple visits per day?
Yes. Two or three visits per day are common for dogs left at home during work hours or cats on medication.
What if my pet needs medication?
Many Vancouver sitters administer oral medication and topical applications. Discuss specifics at the meet and greet.
Are sitters in Vancouver verified?
Yes. Every sitter passes identity verification with a government ID and a background check.
will a drop-in sitter keep my cat indoors because of Vancouver coyotes?
Yes, Vancouver drop-in sitters keep cats inside by default, which matters near the green corridors around Point Grey, Kitsilano and the Commercial Drive parks where urban coyotes move through. The visit is feed, water, litter and a check, with doors kept shut so an indoor cat stays indoor the whole time you are away.
can a sitter water my plants during a Yaletown drop-in visit?
Many Vancouver sitters will water plants and bring in mail as part of a drop-in, so add it to your booking notes. It is a common ask in Yaletown and Coal Harbour condos where a few short visits cover both the cat and the apartment while you are out of town, all under one booking.
How much is a drop-in visit in Vancouver?
CAD 20–35 per visit is typical for a 30-minute visit in Vancouver. Sitters set their own rates and you see the exact price before booking.
